PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society)

Want to foster Arnold & don't have too many stairs at home?

💌 Please email us at foster@phillypaws.org to learn more about this little man!

He'd really appreciate a warm place to rest his head & someone to give him lots of TLC when he is needing it most! 🙏

We don't know how Arnold feels about cats, but he seems open to dog friends once he's past his kennel cough.

So far Arnold walks (or should we say waddles) on leash like a true gentleman, takes treats very gently & has the sweetest, most loving personality.

He can be sensitive with handling around his ouchie spots, but still wants all the affection & quality time his humans have to offer 💛

This friendly grandpa is looking for a foster home!

Arnold is a low-riding sweetheart who found himself at @acctphilly.bsky.social after his beloved human sadly passed away.

He has kennel cough & some ouchie hips but still a cheerful guy looking for stability after such a big change 🧵

Hey #Philly, my super sweet senior foster Nick is still available for adoption at @phillypaws.bsky.social phillypaws.org/adopt/cats/#... #caturday #philadelphia #cats

He's now resting comfortably in foster care, soaking up the love as he recovers.

We are SO grateful to Petco Love for its $18K investment in PAWS’ lifesaving work last year, which makes it possible for us to rescue & treat vulnerable pets like Capri Sun when they need us most! 🙏

#PetcoLovePartner

Thanks to Petco Love’s lifesaving support, our vet team was able to act quickly by running diagnostics, starting antibiotics & pain relief & ultimately providing dental care & nasal flush to help him heal ❤️‍🩹

With every step of treatment, Capri Sun has begun to feel a little more like himself.

When Capri Sun arrived at PAWS, he was in rough shape.

His labored breathing & painful mouth sores led to a calicivirus diagnosis — a contagious & potentially life-threatening disease.

Despite being uncomfortable & in urgent need of care, this sweet boy purred through exams & became a staff fav 🧵

Meet Percii 👋🏼

On top of a respiratory infection & painful dental disease, a large mass on Bonk's liver makes his prognosis very guarded.

Despite all hes been through, Bonk has amazed us with his sweet & loving demeanor, purring through exams, bloodwork & ultrasounds as our team charts his best path forward.

He'd been unwell for some time & faced euthanasia unless a rescue could step in & commit to his care.

Thanks to supporters like you, PAWS was ready to welcome this affectionate boy, even with an uncertain road ahead ❤️‍🩹

Hours left: Start or increase your monthly donation by midnight & unlock an extra $300 for pets like Bonk!

This special cat is safe at PAWS now, but when he arrived at @acctphilly.bsky.social, life as a stray had taken its toll.

A good Samaritan found Bonk in very poor health 🧵

We don’t know how Jack does with other pets, but his shy demeanor makes us suspect he’d prefer to be an only pet (or have his own space with very slow pet intros when he’s ready).

Have a quiet home & want to help keep a family intact?

Please email foster@phillypaws.org for more info! 🙏

But first, we need a foster like you to welcome him home!

Jack may need surgery for a possible eye condition, so he’s looking for a foster who can travel to our Grays Ferry clinic for any related care as needed.

Jack came to PAWS via our Safety Net Program.

His human loves him very much but is experiencing a temporary hardship & isn’t able to keep Jack for the next few months.

Rather than part ways forever, this program Jack to match w/ a foster who'll care for him until he can be reunited w/ his person 💛

This sensitive boy is very scared at the shelter & needs a foster ASAP.

Poor Jack misses his human — if you look closely, you’ll see it’s not a blanket in his crate, it’s his dad’s hoodie 🥺

Even though he’s is heartsick & homesick right now, you can ensure he doesn’t stay that way for long! 🧵

While we often have an idea of a pet’s medical needs when we rescue them, we just as often encounter surprises along the way.

Whether a pet needs 3 days of treatment or 3 months, your monthly support allows us to say YES to the most vulnerable pets, no matter what their journeys may hold 🙏

This might include antibiotics for respiratory, skin, or eye infections, surgery to address injuries or dental needs, medication & special diets to manage senior conditions ❤️‍🩹

You name it, we’ve probably seen it!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of new arrivals from @acctphilly.bsky.social & other shelters, w/ nearly every pet we welcomed needing medical care or support for various ailments.

Their first stop is an exam with our vet team, who ID immediate & long-term needs & start a treatment plan.

A supporter is donating $300 for every new monthly donor who joins us by midnight tomorrow.

That means you’ll be providing year-round lifesaving while having a BIG impact for pets who need us now 🤍

Become a Constant Companion & power PAWS' rescue efforts all year, in all weather ❄️💪

We kicked off our Constant Companion Monthly Donor Challenge & in just 1 day, 30 monthly supporters have already joined or increased their giving, unlocking $9,000 for pets in need! 🧵

Want to help this special girl feel healthy & comfortable again?

Please email foster@phillypaws.org or adoptions@phillypaws.org for more info, or come meet her at PAWS’ Old City Adoption Center! 💕

She’d be grateful to continue her wellness journey w/ a foster or adopter who can help manage her weight loss & arthritis w/ PAWS’ medical team 🙏

Marigold would prefer to be an only pet & needs some help with a litter box setup accessible with her arthritis, plus a smaller space to start.

Marigold has arthritis that makes it painful for her to walk more than a few steps.

Despite how uncomfortable she must be, she’s a very gentle & loving soul who melts for affection & shows her appreciation with grateful head nuzzles & purrs 💜

Marigold still seeks a foster or adopter ASAP!

She found a foster to ride out the snowstorm but is about to return to the shelter & would love to find a home where she can settle in & get cozy.

This sweet, morbidly obese 7-year-old arrived weighing 21 lbs. — nearly double her ideal weight 🧵

It truly takes a village & we are so grateful for ours.

Please join us in thanking our PAWS snow angels for continuing to show up for Philadelphia’s most vulnerable pets, no matter what! 💪
